Biography
Nicolas Bay was born in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France in 1977, and he joined the National Front at the age of 15. He became the party's youth leader in Yvelines and Ile-de-France, and he also founded the Youth Christian Action Association, which opposed same-sex unions and euthanasia. In 1998, he joined the National Republican Movement, and he was elected as a Sartrouville councillor in 2001. In 2008, due to his increasing contacts with the National Front leader Marine Le Pen, he was removed from his party's leadership, and he was instead placed on the National Front list for the 2009 European Parliament elections, ultimately being elected as an MEP in 2014 and as General Secretary of the National Rally.
